On the plus side. I've now fixed my rear inner tube. Hole was in exactly the same place as the previous tube. Close inspection shows I missed a thorn sticking through the outer.

Hopefully this fix will hold air.

@quixoticgeek I’ve fixed numerous flats and had them recur in the same place due to not thorns, but little pieces of steel wire, presumably from car or truck tires which have long since exceeded their useful lives. They’re frustrating as hell. It sure feels good when I ultimately find the little nub of steel sticking through the tire carcass - that is, if I haven’t punctured a fingertip in the process.
